Sugar overload. Send help.

Technically, the egg hunt should be happening TODAY (Sunday in Australia), but we did it yesterday because a) it was the only day we could coral the entire family + kids to be in the one place and b) as a family we tend to have very little respect for tradition. Whatever. As long as there is an egg hunt AT SOME POINT over Easter weekend, I don’t get my knickers in a twist over the details.

I will say though that I pretty much ate my weight in Turkish delight eggs, Mars Bar eggs and a number of white chocolate treats that put me into a sugar coma for around 12 hours. AND I was forced to police my 2-year-old’s chocolate intake at the same time, and let me just say it is near impossible to tell a 2-year-old to STOP eating chocolate when you are – whoopsy – busy stuffing your face with chocolate in front of him.

This morning I found the little rascal with his Easter basket and a chubby hand under the couch, fishing out all the forgotten mini eggs from the hunt that no one had found. The kid has got some serious detective skills.

Anyhow, I hope that wherever you all are, and whoever you’re with, you’re doing Easter with some quality chocolate by your side.
